Here it is, in full:
Even absent Leviticus, homosexuality is explicitly condemned in three passages from the NT. And isn't Leviticus the unaltered word of God ? Are christians supposed to act against this Levitical law after Jesus fulfilled it ??
The NT condemns homosexuality, but Jesus never did.
To Christians, yes, Leviticus is God’s covenant with the children of Israel. But Christians don’t live under that covenant, and never have. They live under Jesus’ ‘New Covenant’. So, since Jesus never spoke against homosexuality (Paul did, but Paul was a full-blown whackaloon), Christians are not required to condemn homosexuality.
